Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My C4S pulls ever so slightly to the right. I've searched the forum and there has been a post about this arleady. Seems like some people notice it, and some people have no problems. I checked my tire pressures and it is according to factory spec. Should I just leave it be or shoule I have the dealer check into it? Is an alignment covered by warrany? I never had this probelm with my '99 C2. I guessing it has something to do with the 4 wheel drive system

POST 2Original post

Good question. I think you could handle it if you say it has always been that way and someone told you what it was. Just be careful not to hit a parking block at an angle or otherwise when you park anywhere as it can through off the toe that easy-

POST 3Original post

I got a "courtesy" alignment on my Boxster S but I think it has to be done within 2000 miles of delivery to qualify as a warranty alignment.

POST 4Original post

If the tires are worn, that may be a culprit. i noticed a tendency to wander when my tires were getting to the wear bars. On a 2003, that should not be the case. I would get it aligned. The C4S steering going straight ahead is dead center. To get the four corners checked, aligned and fully serviced should be $100 - $150. Thats the quote I got from my dealer when I inquired about adding more negative camber.

POST 5Original post

I've only had my '03 C4S for 4 days and I noticed it pulling to the right almost immediately. I checked air pressure and the right was a little higher than the left, so when I evened out the pressure, it really pulls to the right. My dealer said to bring it in...i know those guys will do whatever it takes to get it right.

POST 6Original post

You really should get that dealt with right away, if the tires cup you will be very unhappy with the noise level in the car, can be tough to diagnose.

POST 8Original post

update,,, dealer tech drove car and said it wasn't pulling...full of hooey. they ultimately said that the car has no caster adjustment in the front, so only alternative was to move the camber. they set right wheel camber to -.27. the car still pulls from the left lane, over the crown and onto the right shoulder in 5 seconds. their alignment "expert" wasn't there, so they encourage me to have him look at it. i'll be going back as many times as it takes to get it right. any comments welcome....i'll keep you posted on what finally DOES fix it.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks for the update...please keep us posted..

POST 10Original post

KWC4S - Did you ever get this fixed? If so how?

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

nope...havnt taken it to the dealer yet....tried messing around with the pressures but still pulls right...

POST 13Original post

I took mine to the dealer with 1800 miles on it and got a free alignment. The car, according to their tech, was the worst aligned car he had ever seen from the factory. I believe it because the turn-ins are so crisp now, it is almost like my car didn't have power steering before and now does. The car no longer pulls to the right either, but is pretty straight with some gradual drift either direction over 10 seconds likely due to just the road. I was pleased with the results, it is like a whole new car!

POST 14Original post

what make tyres are you using? in Singapore, we drive on the left side of the road, and using Continental CSC-2, there has been complaints of the car pulling to the left. No problems with Michelin or Pirelli so far.
